A Shining Summer (Editing)

Chapter 6 ~ Jessie

Canada, July 2 2011

The sun rolled up and brought light into my bedroom. I cocked my head slightly to the side and looked at the clock. Four o'clock in the morning.

Normally, I'd still be asleep, but since I didn't start packing until today I didn't have much of an option. I grabbed my favorite pair of pajamas and stuffed it in the humongous suitcase. I had gotten them for Christmas a couple years back, and I couldn't help but wear them as much as I could.

But can you blame me? Dancing penguins are where it's at.

 I continued to pack, but after a few minutes, I ended up shoving whatever I could find into the suitcase. Any normal person would've took some time, considering the fact that this was all you were going to have for two months, but when you're packing before half of the world is awake, it changes everything.

 Finally, after triple checking, I was done. I plopped down on the rock hard bed, and let out a huge sigh. 

"Time to get some rest," I muttered, shutting my eyes.

Noona neomu yeppeoseo~

I grabbed my pillow and stuffed my face into it. Shut up you stupid cell phone.

Namjadeuri kaman an dwo~

I groaned loudly. Can't I rest? Even for a few moments? 

Heundeulineun geunyuhui mam sashil algo issuh~

I guess not.

"WHAT?"

"Well, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," replied the familiar snarky voice.

I rolled my eyes. "Shut up, I've been up since four in the morning."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Not everyone wakes up at two in the afternoon like you."

"Pft, I woke up early today."

I snorted. "LOUSAPER WAKING UP EARLY? ALERT THE MEDIA!"

"Oh the things I do for the SHINee boys. Oh the things."

"Well, why did you call?"

"I'm coming over in like ten minutes."

I groaned. "You don't have to call to come over. You're always here anyway, no one cares anymore. My mom doesn't even notice you anymore."

She laughed. "Fine, I'm coming over."

I grabbed a slice of bread and popped it into the toaster. The sun had finally settled into a spot nestled between two fluffy clouds, and the birds outside were chirping happily. 

"It's such a beautiful day, isn't it?" Lousaper said, propping herself on the kitchen counter.

"Too bad we're going to be cooped in a plane the entire day," I laughed.

"Where are we going anyway?"

I shrugged. "Beats me."

 "They should really give us more information, this whole "acting mysterious thing" is not cool."

"If by not cool you mean very inconvenient, then yes."

 I pulled the toast out of the toaster and slathered a huge scoop of Nutella all over it. Covering every  single space there was on the toast.

Lousaper gave me a look of disgust. "How do you not have diabetes?"

I shrugged, taking a messy bite of my breakfast. My stomach and taste buds screamed out in delight, loving every bit of the chocolaty goodness.
